wow, so EX headstomp had ex armor at some point? either that or he’s just referring to the invincibility. I admit that’d be nice. It’s not the gdlk move it was made out to be upon release.
I like how they freaked out about not being able to punish Dictator’s KPN on block, but had nothing to say about Ryu’s super being totally 100% safe on block.
Azrael kept referencing the old beta Bison, so I just did a search on old SRK threads.
The difference is probably the fact that Bison’s super is invulnerable until it’s active, basically making it an unpunishable jesus kick. That and he wasn’t as meter dependent then.
Mindless tiger knee traps, unpunishable specials to escape, and safe slide basically sounds like Bison was free to go anywhere he damn pleased. I don’t remember exactly, but I think I even read teleport had less frames of recovery lol.
They should give him back some of that old stuff. Maybe not entirely everything, even a fraction of it would be good. I don’t think there’s anything new that nobody has said yet so let’s hope for the best in the coming months.
hopefully Bison doesn’t become too popular in the next installment. I’d never want him to be this game’s version of ryu and see endless bison’s online and shit. I’d probably quit the character if that ever happened.
@ Decestation, yeah I think EX should combo into ultra IF your opponent is close to the corner. That would stop it from being too OP and it would sorta be like those ultra combos that are corner dependent, i.e. the one from Rufus and Ryu’s EX Tatsu into ultra.
I remember a interview where Seth Killian mentioned that characters will get buffs, and no one gets nerfed, not even Sagat.
So my idea to buff Bison is:
Fast but low damage overhead normal, it can not be canceled and its possible to link into a HighKick or other normal that can not be canceled or linked. Also it should have faster recovery than the hitstun the opponent is in.
Empty DR should be linked into Ultra (2 frames)
Slide should be able link into ultra (2 frames)
Faster recovery from teleport and should also be able to teleport in air to ground and not air to air like Dhalsim.
